EHRI: Description & Governance

As hard-pressed Federal HR managers can attest, conducting workforce planning and analysis on a large scale is virtually impossible today because personnel data is stored on paper within the Official Personnel Folders (OPFs), and a subset of that data is stored in a jumble of legacy systems of varied levels of functionality and integration. EHRI enables managers to forecast employee movements (promotions, retirements, etc.) and ensure qualified personnel are in place. When complete, EHRI will improve the efficiency of moving employees through the full employment lifecycle. It will take minutes, not days, for agencies to examine the official electronic records of employees transferring into their organizations.

EHRI's e-Government solution is comprised of three major components:

1. A central repository for all Executive Branch employee data;
2. An electronic employee record securely accessible to individual Federal employees via EHRI's Portal; and
3. A set of analytic tools to support HR and Federal managers in forecasting human capital requirements, identifying trends, aggregating HR data across agencies and managing HR knowledge.

The EHRI governance structure ensures that the EHRI goals and objectives are accomplished with the participation and input from key stakeholders. The governance bodies established to assist EHRI include:

• eOPF User Group
• OPF Policy Workgroup
• eOPF Workflow Subgroup
• Analytics IPT
• CPDF Transition
